A large vehicle, usually propelled by an engine, used as a moving stage or mobile display in a parade.

In the Rose Parade, floats are ridden by men and women in costumes to celebrate New Years Day.

In every Poofters on Parade parade, a float is ridden (certainly not "manned") by poofters, fags, butt eaters, and corn holers wearing jock straps. They mince, prance, and blow kisses to the crowd. This is all very impressive to white liberals, who always show up to wave at the sissies.

the term float first originated as a misspelling of fleet, in an Age of Conquerors game, however it very quickly caught on.

since then it became the way to express whether a water had good fish (good float) or bad fish (bad float), whether someone was not going water at all (p3 no float). on land maps it is used in place of 'win' and 'do well' and just as a general good luck slogan.
